Ideal for our yearly reunion at Bidford Gliding Club
The Combine Shed is handy for us every year. Always clean and well equipped. We found the beds uncomfortable this year and let the owner know.

Clean and well maintained property
Clean and well maintained property - 5 stars
Double bed is a regular queen size - room would easily support a larger bed which would have been more comfortable but all other furnishings comfortable enough - 3 stars
Location really requires a car - 3 stars

Wonderful accommodation in great location
We had a wonderful time staying here with our daughter - the cot and highchair pack made it really straightforward for a holiday with a 1 year old. The location is perfect - a ten minute walk to get to the shops and pub in Bidford and a 15 minute drive to Stratford or to Cotswolds villages. The wood burner and hot tub made it a real treat to stay here every evening. Thank you!

A pleasant barn conversion in a good location
Location wise the barn was very good, near routes but quiet and a delightful outlook. Easy access through farm to footpaths with lovely countryside and river walks. Either up the pavemented road or along footpaths into village, nice not to have to use your car all the time.Village provided all you need for stay and has great riverside pastures to enjoy. The barn had all the essentials and is in a good clean condition. It accomadated 4 but only 2 plus dog stayed which for comfort was right for us. The enclosed garden was safe for dog and lovely for outside eating etc. with good garden furniture. If I returned I would like to try an alternative barn at Oosland farm. A really nice break in a beautiful part of the country.

A perfect stay
A lovely, peaceful stay, would definitely come back. The view from the garden/hot tub is beautiful. Lots of thoughtful extras such as flip flops and robes for the hot tub, coffee pods and so on. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds, Stratford etc.

Excellent stay!
We really enjoyed our long weekend here. The location made it very easy to travel around the Cotswolds and also visit Stratford-upon-Avon which is only 20mins away. The outlook over the fields is beautiful, we loved having our private garden and hot tub. The log burner is a lovely addition and it really did feel home from home.

Perfect getaway
We had such a lovely time at the Combine Shed. We were promptly provided with a cot and high chair for the baby, there was ample space for the dog, and we were able to enjoy luxurious amenities like the log burner and hot tub. Found everything we needed easily, and enjoyed time to relax on a rainy weekend away from our normal responsibilities. Would hope to come back with the family again.

Peaceful and relaxing
We stayed for 4 weeks whist having building work done to our house. The owner was fab, super helpful if we needed anything but just left us to it which was great. We even took our cat with us. The location is gorgeous, really tranquil and peaceful. Walking is lovely, local pubs and shops easily accessible. Accommodation is comfy, well equipped and was a real home from home.
This is our fourth time staying at combine shed an excellent stay as always .
Superb location for whatever you are planning to do on your stay / holiday .
Private rural location but very close to the town of Bidford on Avon .
Only point I would like to make is if you are looking for the property in the dark the entrance off road is not lit and can be easily missed !
Will be booking again for next year

Lovely Location, Enjoyable Stay, Just Needs a Little Refresh
We had a pleasant stay at the Combine Shed overall, but we did feel the property is starting to look a little tired and could benefit from some updates.
A few items seemed due for replacement, such as some of the pots and pans, and the sofas have noticeably lost their comfort. Also the carpet in front of the woodburner has suffered burn damage.
The shower appears to be fitted the wrong way around, with hot and cold reversed. Unfortunately, this meant our first experience of the water that was either too hot or too cold before we realised, which was concerning.
We also weren’t able to use the hot tub on our first evening. I understand it’s advised that it may not be ready until 7pm, however at 9pm it was still only 30 degrees, so it wasn’t hot enough to use, which was disappointing.
While I appreciate it’s not guaranteed, it would have been a lovely touch to have a small amount of milk provided on arrival. The nearest shop is around a 10-minute drive away, so it’s not ideal when you’ve just arrived and would like a cup of tea. Similarly, three robes rather than two would have been helpful for using the hot tub, although we did appreciate that robes and towels were supplied.
Overall, we had a nice stay, but we do feel the property would benefit from a bit of a refresh and a few thoughtful updates to really enhance the experience.
Location wise, it’s a really lovely spot. The views from the garden and especially from the hot tub are beautiful. There’s a Co-op and a One Stop within a short drive, or around a 15-minute walk away, which is handy.
It’s worth checking in advance whether the local pubs and restaurants are serving food, particularly out of peak season. When we visited in February, quite a few were either closed at the start of the week or not serving food on Mondays and Tuesdays, which we hadn’t realised when we planned to eat out on the Tuesday evening.
I would highly recommend a visit to the Cottage of Content. It’s about a 15-minute walk away. The walk can feel a little precarious late at night as there are no pavements, but the two publicans were very welcoming, offered great local recommendations, and the food was excellent. If we’d stayed longer, we would definitely have gone back.
We also really enjoyed a meal at Balti Hot. The service was great and the curry was delicious. It’s also about a 15-minute walk, this time with pavements the whole way, which makes it an easy option.
For days out, Warwick Castle is around a 40-minute drive and made for a fantastic day. If you’re a National Trust member, Croome is well worth visiting. We’d also recommend a trip to Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds, which is very picturesque.
Overall, it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area.

2 night stay
We stayed here for 2 nights in June to visit Stratford upon Avon .
Lovely spacious property in quiet area. Bidford upon Avon had places to eat and takeaways
The property was ideal for our dog with a fully enclosed garden .
Facilities were good in the property . The wifi however never worked which was frustrating for us . That was only negative
Would recommend this property to others

A lovely property in an ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds and catching up with friends.
The property is neat and tidy and plenty big enough for 2 couples. The hot tub is a lovely addition. The criticisms would be the need to fix the curtain pole in the lounge - really messed with my engineer friend's mind, and also the cleaners need to look up, especially in the bathroom, and clear all the cobwebs away. It was also impossible to have a shower without making the floor very wet as the screen across the to of the bath wasn't long enough. Other than all that we would be happy to come back to the area and book the same property, or try one of the others on the farm.

Would book again
I booked a short break (2 nights) at the Combine Shed in Bidford on Avon. It was a superb place to stay :-) - very comfortable and everything we needed was there. The open lounge / dining / kitchen area was very spacious, light but still had a comfy feel. The kitchen itself had everything we needed for self catering for a few meals. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and I think we all slept well in the beds. Overall the place was clean and pleasantly decorated and offered a lovely retreat - in fact I said many times (to the kids annoyance I'm sure) that I would happily live in a place like this! The enclosed garden area was beautiful, backing on to large fields. The only thing that could perhaps have enhanced the stay would have been some comfy garden chairs or sun loungers to enjoy a good book with a glass of wine while overlooking the wonderful views.
This is our third stay at combine sheds Oosland barns and we will be staying again .
Property is spacious and a superb location rural but very close to all amenities.
The property is clean and very well equipped highly recommend
We had a lovely four night break. Combine She'd was exactly as described. Sofas were extremely comfy and snallbut secure garden great for our dog. Very nicely decorated with all the facilities you might need. Would definitely stay again.

A great stay, with a great host!
I stayed for a total of 3 nights with my partner. On our arrival there were a few unexpected issues with the property which led to me calling up the owner, Kate, late at night (10pm-ish!). Kate picked up and immediately came round to the property to try and sort the issues, and offered us a stay in one of her other properties instead to give her time to fix the problems. I was really impressed with Kate’s speed in coming round as well as her kind and friendly attitude.
We ended up staying in Owl’s End - the property next door, and we had no qualms whatsoever! The place was very cosy, and is perfect for either one or two couples to stay. We really enjoyed the open fire and Kate had left lots of wood and firelighters out so we could enjoy the fire the whole weekend. The TV was great too and having Netflix was definitely a plus!
Overall we had a fantastic stay and it was really down to Kate’s amazing attitude that meant we had a great time. Would definitely recommend the property we stayed in and would certainly recommend Kate as a host!

Fantastic place to stay
The Combine Shed has to be one of the best self-catering units I've stayed in. Very clean, well equipped, close to all the amenities that we needed. A few minor niggles - the coffee machine didn't work, and no instruction books for appliances, etc, but overall it was truly excellent. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering it.

Pleasant and peaceful
The Combine shed provided a very pleasant and peaceful break for 4 adults (and dog). A short walk to the town for shops, pubs and the river. Facilities at the property were more than adequate for self catering and the garden was secure for the dog to roam. Would definitely stay again and reccomend to others
